FONDA — A former Johnstown police officer was sentenced Tuesday to a year in jail after his earlier guilty plea to third-degree rape, according to Saratoga County District Attorney James Murphy, who was the special prosecutor in the Fulton County case.

Adam Schwabrow, 32, admitted that he had sexual intercourse with someone less than 17 years of age.

The crime occurred in May 2011 in the city of Johnstown when Schwabrow was not on duty, and force was never alleged in the case, authorities said. Schwabrow had earlier resigned as a police officer.
